PTA OVERVIEW AND HARDWAREDEEPAK NANDANINTRODUCTIONEndovascular revascularization of infrarenal aortic and iliac disease- high rate of technical success and with lower morbidity and mortality than open bypass surgery
Preferred modality for treatment of patients with Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus Document (TASC) II type A and B lesions
Surgical revascularization preferred for patients with TASC type C and D lesions
In contemporary practice, surgery is reserved for failure of endovascular approachModified TASC Morphological Classification (TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus)
TASC -Femoral-Popliteal Lesions

This angiogram in the anteroposterior (AP) view shows common, internal, and external iliac arteries. If the external iliac arteries are not well visualized in the AP view, then contralateral views should be used. For example, left external iliac artery is best imaged in the right anterior oblique30. The CFA is imaged by placing a 5F multipurpose catheter in the contralateral side after crossing the contralateral CFA with an angled glide wire. The ostium of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) and the profunda femoris artery are best imaged in the ipsilateral 30 angulation. The middistal SFA and the popliteal are best visualized in the AP view. The tibioperoneal vessels are seen well in an ipsilateral 10 angulation, whereas the pedal arch vessels are imaged in the contralateral10 angulations.Vascular AccessRelatively disease-free, without signi Ca

Ipsilateral popliteal retrograde accessUseful in SFA occlusion with failure to cross from contralateral or antegradeOstial SFA/CFA lesions may also be approached via PA in acute angled terminal ao bifurcCI- aneurysms of PA, pathology of popliteal fossa- Bakers cyst
Brachial Artery AccessPref access for visc arterial [CA, SMA] interventions
PC approach at BA can lead to a compli rateUL arts smaller, prone to spasm A small hematoma- Could lead to brachial plexopathy
Itv req >6F sheaths/smaller ptopen approach preferred
Left BA access pref over Rt- can avoid carotid origin
A micropuncture tech should be used for all PC BA intervention
Left brachial approach has approximately 100mm greater reach than the right brachial approach
Estimated distances from FA access
GUIDEWIRESGuidewires are used to introduce, position, and exchange catheters
In a standard guide wire, a stainless steel coil surrounds a tapered inner core
A central safety wire filament is incorporated to prevent separation in case of fracture
5 charecterstics- size, length, stiffness, coating, and tip configuration
Typically they are 100 to 120 cm in length but can also be 260 to 300 cm(good rule of thumb to follow is that the guidewire should be twice the length of the longest catheter being used)
Tip of the wires can be straight, angled, or J-shaped
Varying degrees of shaft stiffness- extra support,to provide a strong rail to advance catheters in tortuous anatomy vs extremely slick hydrophilic with low friction
Wire selectionDiameter vary from 0.014 to 0.038
Most commonly used size is 0.018/0.035 ( upper extremity) and 0.014/ 0.018 ( lower extremity)
Length between 130 and 300cm
Tip configurations are; straight, angled Tip and J shape
Varying degrees of shaft stiffness ( e.g. extra support, super stiff wires) allow advancement of stiff devices

wire braid in the wall to impart torquibility and strengthGuiding Catheter vs SheathOperator dept
Sheaths are designed with a simple diaphragm or a hemostatic valve, guiding catheters always require hemostatic valves be attached
During intervention, the guide catheter or sheath should be placed near the lesion to provide for better visualizationand improved supportFlush /Non-Sel SelectiveCATHETERS
Vascular sheaths allow for easy exchange and introduction of catheters and guidewires. They have a hemostatic valve that prevents blood reflux and air embolism. Furthermore, they protect the vessel entry point from intimal injury and should be used whenever multiple guidewire exchanges are anticipated. Sizing of sheaths is based on their internal diameter: a 7 Fr sheath will accept up to a 7 Fr catheter. Sheaths come in multiple lengths. In addition, the side port of the sheath can be used to inject contrast or measure arterial pressure. All sheaths are packaged with dilators. Dilators serve as an obturator for entry of the sheath and also help to progressively enlarge the track once guidewire entry has been established Guiding catheters and sheaths can be used to facilitate passage of a smaller endovascular device through a tortuous curve. They are particularly useful in the renal and carotid system or contralateral iliac systemBALKIN Sheath (cook) Contralateral access to the iliac artery

BalloonsBalloonsIn selecting a balloon, the following criteria should be considered : a) Guidewire ( 0.014, 0.018, 0.035) b) Over the wire (OTW) or monorail system c) Shaft length
Balloon shaft lengths are commonly 75 cm or 120 cm, can be coaxial or monorail and designed to be inserted over 0.014-in., 0.018-in., or 0.035-in. wires

SELF EXPANDABLE StentsDeployed in vessels that are flexible or twist during movement of neck, shoulder or leg Carotid, Axillary, SFA, Popliteal arteryNitinol - metal - provides best flexibility and memoryStent is simply compressed over a stent delivery catheter and covered with a sheathStent deployment is achieved by pulling back the sheath Stent diameter should be 1-2mm larger than the reference vessel diameter- adequate stent apposition with the vessel wall
Self-expandable StentsSome degree of foreshortening- to be taken into account when choosing
More difcult to place with absolute precision
Generally comes in longer length than BES
Their ability to continually expand after delivery allows them to accommodate adjacent vessels of different sizeSelf-expanding stents are deployed by retracting a restraining sheath and usually consist of Elgiloy (a cobalt, chromium, nickel alloy) or Nitinol (a shape memory alloy composed of nickel and titanium), the latter of which will contract and assume a heat-treated shape above a transition temperature that depends upon the composition of the alloy.

First, the Cordis Palmaz Stents - the first stent and the stent that remains the gold standard in terms of clinical support and a newcomer the Medtronic Bridge stent.Renal artery stenting1. Catheter or sheath placement 2. Guide wire (0.014) insertion. Rosen wire has soft curled end- ideal- prevents perforating small renal branch vessels3.Stent placement -> as soon as the tip reach the lesion GC is pulled back into the Aorta4.Stent deployment, proximal struts should protrude 1-2mm into the aorta5. Flaring the ostium of the stent ( optional), opens the way for re-intervention and covers the plaque in the aorta
no touch technique, the guide catheter seeks out the ostium with the help of 2 wires
Advances in Treatment of AortoiliacOcclusions
Inability to cross an occlusion with a guidewire or to reenter the true lumen beyond the occlusion remains the most common cause for technical failure
Front Runner deviceCrosser catheterReentry devicesThe Frontrunner (Cordis) or Quickcross catheters are designed to maintain the wire in the center of the lumen and penetrate the plaque and/or thrombus in a controlled fashion

Low profile. Features a crossing profile of .039" with actuating jaws that open to 2.3 mm.Hydrophilic coating along the entire catheter length to facilitate crossingCatheter steerability.- shapeable distal tip + effective torque control enhance maneuverability and catheter steerabilityNo guidewire lumen.Variable support from advancing and retracting the 4.5F Micro Guide Catheter.
The crossing profile is 0.039 in with the jaws closed, reaches a maximum diameter of 2.3 mm with the jaws open, and is available in 90- and 140-cm lengths. The device does not have a guidewire lumen, and once a lesion is crossed, a dedicated MicroGuidecatheter is advanced over the FrontRunner catheter to its tip, andthe catheter is then withdrawn. A guidewire can then be placedthrough the MicroGuide over which further therapies such asballoons and stents may be delivered126
